- Submitted by parent on November 18, 2023Hands down the best decision we made, when we enrolled in GJA. Teacher to student ratio is awesome and since its a small school which means everyone knows everyone. They really embrace brotherhood and accountability for and by all. As parents, we have no issues communicating or receiving communication from the school. This has been a safe, nurturing, educational and developmental environment from day one. The students grades, character, wisdom shine wherever they go.
- Submitted by parent on February 14, 2023This school is a Gem in the Lower East Side .My son attended in this school and I feel blessed because he is growing intellectually and emotionally. The bond the kids created is like a brotherhood. They take care each other no mater what grade they are . The Principal Mr. Javier is a generous person that always guided the students with respect and highlight their qualities. The teachers are very competent in their disciplines. The Staff is marvelous, always ready to help you ( specially Ms. McCabe and Ms. Floyd, Ms. Power). They always wants the parents to be involved and keep you informed .
